Sleight of Hand

Slapping forehead. Your puzzle was a good one. Maybe you should give us more chances after one or two wrong answers. Still your go, I think.

Let something slip through your fingers
 
This ten-word idiom warns, “One should avoid an undertaking unless prepared for its consequences.”

The clues follow SEE order more than ASL. When someone gets the answer, as an example of the discussion in Permalink #138 of this thread, I’ll show how my sister's pure ASL version.


1. With the fingers of the F hand slightly apart and facing each other, move them up and down like a beam balance scale for “consider” and “evaluate.”

2. Point to the person being warned.

3. Both hands palms down and fingers together are held one above the other in front of you, then abruptly separated, right hand to the right, left hand to the left for “not able.”

4. Both hands palms down, fingers apart and curved down are moved busily back and forth in front of the torso for “action” and “performance.”

5. Fourth word not signed in ASL.

6. Tap the upper left wrist with the curved right index finger for “wrist watch.”

7. Thumb flips outward in “ten” sign.

8. Both hands palms down, fingers apart and curved down are moved busily back and forth in front of the torso for repeat of #4.

9. Ninth word not signed in ASL.

10. Side of right C hand strikes hard against open left hand for “forbid.”

ARRRRGH! I KNOW I know this one, but I can't quite recall it! I'm going to have to slap myself when some one else gets it!
 
Goof alert! Sign for the seventh word should read:

7. Thumb flips outward from under the chin in “ten” sign.

In other words, one sign for "don't." Sorry for the mistake.

ooooh! I can see this in a detective novel chase! Like some of the suspects signed "Time Not, question, crime not" in front of the super detective, NOT KNOWING all the time that he was a CODA! (which he had advantageously kept to himself)
